What wheels and compounds do you recommend for polishing marble, porcelain, granite, or other stone?
To remove scratches and haze in these materials, use our White Lightning compound (F515-6113) and a spiral sewn cotton wheel.
For faster polishing, you could use our Excello buffing compound (F515-6142) and a spiral sewn cotton wheel, before finishing with the White Lightning. This compound is black, and should be used with caution on light colored materials where the black compound can be hard to clean up from small hairline cracks in the material.
